Keeping the promise

Chapter 147 I've waited too long

They chased each other on the track, refusing to give in. Every overtaking and defense was full of tension and excitement.

At a continuous bend, Gu Nancheng successfully distanced himself from Irene with precise control. But Irene did not give up, she kept looking for opportunities behind.

Finally, on the last lap of the straight road, Irene seized a small mistake made by Gu Nancheng, accelerated suddenly, and surpassed him. Gu Nancheng watched Irene's car cross the finish line, feeling surprised and delighted.

After the game, they took off their helmets and their faces were filled with excited smiles.

"Eileen, I didn't expect you to be so amazing!" Gu Nancheng exclaimed sincerely.

"You're not bad either, Brother Nancheng." Irene responded with a smile.

They smiled at each other, and at that moment, it seemed as if they were back in the days when they played racing together as children. The tacit understanding and familiarity were still the same as before.

The spectators cheered for their wonderful race, and they became the most dazzling presence on the racetrack. Gu Nancheng and Irene stood beside the race car, enjoying the joy of victory, and their feelings for each other deepened unconsciously during the race.

After the game, Gu Nancheng drove Irene home. The atmosphere in the car was a little subtle, as if an invisible emotion was quietly spreading.

They talked about today's game, their words full of excitement and aftertaste. As the topic deepened, the atmosphere gradually became ambiguous.

Gu Nancheng's eyes fell on Irene's face from time to time, and her beautiful face looked even more charming at this moment.

Irene also noticed Gu Nancheng's gaze. Her cheeks flushed slightly and her heartbeat involuntarily quickened.

The car was driving smoothly on the road, and the scenery outside the window passed by quickly. Gu Nancheng's hands were gently placed on the steering wheel, and his fingers unconsciously tightened slightly.

"Eileen..." Gu Nancheng's voice was a little low and hoarse.

Irene turned her head and looked at him with a hint of confusion and expectation in her eyes.

At this moment, Gu Nancheng suddenly parked the car slowly on the side of the road. He turned his head and looked deeply at Irene, his eyes full of fiery emotions.

Irene's heart seemed to be beating out of her throat, she didn't know what would happen next.

Gu Nancheng slowly approached Irene, his breathing became rapid. Irene closed her eyes nervously, she could feel Gu Nancheng's breath getting closer and closer.

Finally, Gu Nancheng gently kissed Irene's lips. This kiss was gentle and affectionate, as if it contained the love he had suppressed in his heart for many years.

Irene's body trembled slightly. She responded to Gu Nancheng's kiss, and the emotions in her heart flooded like a flood.

After a long time, Gu Nancheng slowly let go of Irene, his eyes full of love and attachment.

"Eileen, you've made me wait for too long. This love has been hidden in my heart for too long..." Gu Nancheng said softly.

Tears flashed in Irene's eyes. She gently held Gu Nancheng's hand, "Me too, Nancheng..."

"You said you would come back in five years, why did it take so long? I thought... I thought you wouldn't come back." Gu Nancheng's voice was filled with a hint of complaint, but more of it was the joy and emotion of reunion. He held the other's hand tightly, as if he was afraid of losing her again.

"It's not that I don't want to come back, but because something happened that year. Just when I was about to return home, grandpa fell ill, and people in the family began to make moves. Grandpa was worried that the group would be taken away by those with ill intentions, so he decided to hand over the group to me to manage. This is a huge responsibility for me, but I can't live up to grandpa's expectations. So, I spent some time dealing with the affairs of the group and tried to get it back on track. During this period, I secretly returned to China as a student, waiting to meet you. However, you were participating in the filming of the crew at the time and were very busy, and we always missed each other. I didn't dare to disturb your life easily, so I could only wait silently. But in the end I didn't wait for you..." Irene sighed softly, with a trace of helplessness and regret in her eyes.

A trace of guilt flashed across Gu Nancheng's face: "I'm sorry, Irene, I didn't know about these things, and I kept blaming you..." His voice was filled with deep self-blame and regret.

Irene shook her head gently, with a hint of helplessness and understanding in her eyes: "It's okay, Brother Nancheng, it's normal that you don't know. I didn't tell you too much at that time. Besides, everything has stabilized now. I came to see you again..." Her tone was calm and gentle, as if she was comforting Gu Nancheng.

His eyes were firm and sincere, as if he could see through her eyes the desire and expectation in her heart. He nodded gently and said in a low voice: "Okay, I won't miss it again." These simple words contained endless determination and commitment.

At this moment, they seemed to have forgotten everything around them and were immersed in each other's love.

The car restarted and drove towards Irene's home, and their love story had just begun...
